The goalkeeper who joined Sparta Rotterdam from Fortuna Dusseldorf is yet to make his Eredivisie debut.
Okoye was an unused substitute in Sunday’s 4-4 draw between Sparta Rotterdam and AZ Alkmaar.
Since pledging his allegiance to play for Nigeria, it’s almost a year that the 21-year old made his international debut for the Super Eagles.
He came in as a substitute for injured Francis Uzoho in the last friendly game that ended 1-1 against Brazil.
